Small correction: the stomach does not break down lactose, it's in the small intestine where lactase breaks it down into glucose and galactose which are then absorbed. The irritation that occurs in lactose intolerant people is an irritation of the colon due to the gaseous bloat allowing more liquid to enter, the stomach is unaffected by all of this.

Yep sorry for the oversight. Was using stomach moreso just referring to the digestive process, but you are certainly correct
